Comet Backup

Excellent backup software

Kommentare: We have used a fair number of backup software, all with some challenges. With Comet we have no issues at all.

Vorteile:

Backup servers are available for Windows and Linux. Installation and configuration is very easy. Setup and executing backup jobs works perfect. Restore also no problems. They make new versions very regular, so many new features over time.

Nachteile:

Overal the product works great. For virtual machine backup we use different software. If at some point this could be integrated in Comet backup, that would be excellent!

Comet backup for a Cloud provider

Kommentare: We were looking for a backup application that should be able to store efficiently the backup jobs to a cloud storage without using local temporal space.
After a few evaluations we came to Comet, has a good pricing model, it's easy to start with and we are a happy user for more than 2 years.
We are running hundred of backup jobs each day, and a few restores each quarter (we are lucky), and we never had any issue caused by Comet Backup.

Vorteile:

I was impressed by the ease of use of the server, how to deploy agents and how easy was to extract information from the server to report to our users how the backup was protecting their information. Also, every time we opened a case with Comet, response time and quality was top notch.

Nachteile:

It doesn't integrate (yet) with change tracking with the hypervisor so all the virtual disk has to be read each time, and that it'd be nice to integrate with S3 protocol Object locks to hedge against potential ramsonware attacks. I know that they are on it on both things but still not available.

Simple and effective backup system. Perfect support.

Kommentare: The solution was great for solving problems that were occurring with our customers. Easy implementation, effective support, and attractive prices.

Vorteile:

Clear pricing policy, one of the best value for money for MSP, efficient support and really safe solution.

Nachteile:

Initially it may take some time to understand its concept, which in our opinion differs a little from traditional backup systems, but after a short time everything is working perfectly.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Acronis Cyber Backup, MSP360 Managed Backup und Ahsay Offsite Backup Server

Good Backup solution

Kommentare: Overall really good for MSP customers.

Vorteile:

The file backup part is really good. All the options for backup is really good. The features are a must. Work really smooth once its is setup

Nachteile:

Storage vaults is bit confusing. Local vault and UNC file might have a problem connecting.

Flexible Backup Service

Vorteile:

Comet is flexible in their hosing, backup, and restore options allowing us to be flexible with our customer’s needs. The flexibility in hosting options for us is critical. In the last two years of using Comet, we have transferred from using AWS S3 backing to Wasabi + client self-host servers without a single issue. The ability to self-host the server out of a docker container and scale it in our existing compute resources (Kubernetes) is an excellent option that we take advantage of. File backup plus select system images have been super helpful for recovery. We have been able to restore a full system image to a VM for a client well we rebuilt their main hardware.

Nachteile:

- Extra cost for system images backs. - Unable to restore a file from a different account. - Our interface is starting to look outdated.
